Liabilities of Foreignness vs. the Value of Diversity: Dear Colleagues,
Allow us to remind you of the upcoming Early Bird registration deadline for EIBA 2016 in Vienna
coming up this Saturday. We have received a record number of submissions of just under 600 manuscripts and expect a record number of delegates to be welcomed on our new WU Vienna Campus! For regular updates and additional

Below, please find an overview over what your registration for EIBA 2016 will get you as well as what to consider when booking
travel and accommodation.
Liabilities of foreignness have long been a governing principle in International Business (IB) research. The notion that difference and distance are liabilities, whether they are national,
cultural, geographic, or semantic, is pervasive in IB research and practice, and constructs such as “cultural distance”, “psychic distance” and “institutional distance” have developed. While existing research is valuable, recently it has been suggested that
an emphasis on liabilities and adverse outcomes associated with such differences may hinder our understanding of the processes and conditions that help to leverage the value of diversity in a wide range of contexts. This may include development of strategic
capabilities, cross-border knowledge-sharing and learning, synergy creation in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, unleashing the creative potential of diverse teams, and promoting sustainable and responsible behavior in multinational enterprises. The EIBA 2016 conference is dedicated to exploring the double-edged-sword nature of liabilities of foreignness and the value of diversity by theorizing and investigating their impact on business
practice and international business research. EIBA 2016 will feature competitive and interactive papers, posters, as well as panels:
